mine was always there, worse in the first 15 min or so, but never gone

edit: i thought id also share that mine had oil consumption issues as well.. like many of the 2001s. anyways, when my motor finally blew up(hydrolocked- not piston slap related) i tore it down to the bare block and looked for any damage from the piston slap, and suprisingly i did not see anythign, no scratches, no gouges. the cylinders looked mint so who knows, SOME piston slap cases may just be a cosmetic noise issue.... just wanted to add that...
